Top 10 Two-Way Players In The NBA TODAY

#8 Draymond Green

Green is still one of the top four defensive players in the league

The reigning DPOY winner is having a down season by his standards but is still possibly the one irreplaceable piece on the Warriors roster today.

For what it's worth, Draymond Green has still been one of the top four defensive players in the league this season. Nobody plays defense quite like this guy, who acts as a defensive quarterback and directs the switching schemes whenever he's on the floor.

He is definitely the best shot-contester in the league: if there's a shot within the reach of his 7'3" wingspan, he's going to do his utmost to alter it.

The metrics still rank Green as a premier defender. He ranks 17th in defensive win shares per game and owns the best defensive rating among the Warriors starters at 102.8. His net rating of 10.2 is terrific as well. He steals the ball 1.4 times every game and blocks 1.3 shots.

It is on offense that Green is having a down year mostly, in terms of shooting percentages particularly. Green is averaging more points per game than last year at 11.1, as well as more assists at 7.4, but his percentages are down to 45.3% and 30.8%. He does rank as one of the premier two-way players in the league, though.
